Because, from a purely utilitarian perspective, that jackass whom you so thoroughly enjoyed mocking over lunch, coffee and cigarettes could easily end up being the guy with the sweet hook-up for you at The New Yorker or Warner Brothers. But even such pragmatism holds deeper meaning: Once the smoke clears from Tercentenary Theater and those of us with no outstanding library fines have gotten our sheepskins, there will still be 1,600 singing men and women of Harvard. Like it or not, once an alum, always an alum-Harvard will never let you go. (When it comes to tracking...
...like the postwar Vienna of "The Third Man" (1950). Written by Graham Greene, lensed by the great Carol Reed (the just-deceased Oliver's uncle), and peopled with a pitch-perfect cast of Joseph Cotten, Orson Welles, Trevor Howard and a ravishing, gut-wrenching Alida Valli as the bad guy's girlfriend, this is quite simply one of the five best movies ever made, no taste-accounting necessary.

So he agreed to come...
Kirsch was a great guy, and his tip about how the fig doesn't really justify the newton was helpful. I'm not against the idea of employing such courtiers, but when I get rich, I'm thinking more like erotic dancer, personal chef and even a poet, just so I can make fun of how lame poetry is and force him to wear a hat with bells and a codpiece...
